Amanda Doherty '20 Recruiting Profile

Starting volleyball in the fourth grade, I grew to love the sport over the years and to develop a real passion for the game. As I began to fall in love with the sport it started to shape me into who I am today. Being on the court has taught me how to be a better leader to those around me, how to have more confidence in myself, and to always push myself to be better. I have been a captain for a few of my travel teams due to my leadership. I have also been pushing myself to trust in my abilities on the court with making smart decisions. These skills apply to my academics as well. In school I push myself in the classroom to always be better and to lead others by example. 

I want to continue playing volleyball throughout my college experience in hopes of growing more as a person and being able to play the sport I am passionate about. I believe my skills are strong enough to play at a collegiate level and that I can tackle any challenges thrown my way on the court and in the classroom. My goal is to find a college that will challenge me academically and help me to achieve my career goals.
